A few spots left – Join me in Scotland in September 2026!

Feb 13, 2026: 4 spots left!

Hi All – There are still a few spots available, and registration will close when the tour fills or on March 2, whichever comes first. I am personally leading this tour (and have done several times before), so please feel free to reach out with questions.

The UW-Madison iSchool is pleased to announce that we’re offering our long-running Scotland tour program once again, this September 1-11, 2026.

The group will stay in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland, where we will visit libraries and cultural heritage institutions. We will also take day trips to Stirling Castle and its surrounds as well as the Western Highlands. We welcome any adult who is interested in libraries, but I think that this tour will be particularly interesting for library workers, librarians, those in professions related to libraries. In the past, our tour groups have been a blend of working professionals, retired professionals, as well as their friends, family, partners, and spouses. This lifelong learning program is open to the general public, and is not eligible for academic credit.

All information and registration can be found on the tour website: https://go.wisc.edu/scotland26

West Hartford, CT

Application Deadline

Minimum Degree Requirement
MLIS

Years of experience required

Salary Range
$26 – $32/hour

Job Description

The Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford (JHSGH) is hiring a part-time archivist (21 -24 hours/week, additional hours possible for grant-supported projects and exhibits). Compensation is commensurate with experience, from $26 per hour.

Officially founded in 1971, our small organization collects, catalogs, protects and disseminates the stories and contributions of the Jews of Greater Hartford. We maintain extensive physical and digital archives, host events, create exhibits and serve as a resource for professional and lay researchers.

The Archivist has a critical role at JHSGH: caring for our physical collections, processing accessions and housing them appropriately. What else will you do? Maintain our ArchivesSpace catalog, create and update our finding aids and manage our digital archives on the Connecticut Digital Archive (CTDA). You will respond to reference and research requests and facilitate access to our holdings, supervise our occasional interns and regular volunteers and perhaps even do some grant writing. You’ll need to be productive working on your own and to collaborate on team projects.

Required: an MLIS from an accredited program (or equivalent). Preferred: competence with the Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft, command line and scripting, familiarity with DACS and imaging standards and experience with ArchivesSpace. Have experience with A/V projects, open-source software, exhibit design, DSLR or other digital media skills? Even better!

If any of this sounds like you, please email your resume and a cover letter telling us why you’d be great in this role to: Jhsdirector@jewishhartford.org. No calls please.
